nichijou

There should be some kind of metric for humor. Or at least some way of better convincing someone they should be laughing at something. But this isn’t a post about that. Nichijou is finally legal at the ripe episode of 18, and what do we get? The Embarrassment of Yuuko Aioi. Jesus Butt-fondling Christ I had a haddock. Because fish is all your references must point to when talking about anime, since it’s from the land of Japan. I laughed very hard during Yuuko’s train ride of mistakes. It wasn’t a derail unfortunately, but the destination was ultimately kind of boring. One of the few times where I really didn’t feel the vibe it was going for. Mai in the knight get-up trying to troll Yuuko into going trick or treating made me sad.

More importantly, the image I’m using made me reminisce for the days I actively drew stuff for fun. I had a character with snake pupil eyes, and whenever she entered her higher form of strength and concentration, her pupils would rotate to a horizontal position. Very obvious symbolism of the “unlocking of powers” type of character development. Man, I sucked at character design.

There was also one time where I had a dream that a cop pulled me over to ask me, “You know I pulled you over, right?” To which I would reply affirmatively. The policeman nods in agreement and returns to his patrol car and zooms off to find someone else to pull over. I woke up at that point and wondered what it meant. It meant that I would eat bread in 5 minutes. Yuuko’s dream in the last segment was easily better than mine. (Not that I was ever implying my dreams are awesome, because they’re not. They are disappointingly bland.)
